Estate Planning Attorney Serving Sumner, WA and St. George, UT
Estate planning is the legal process of deciding who receives your assets, who manages your affairs if you become incapacitated, and how your loved ones are cared for after you are gone. Without a plan in place, Washington or Utah state law steps in and makes those decisions for your family.
At Terry Law Firm, we build complete estate plans for clients across both states — covering wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and more. Every plan is built around your specific family, assets, and goals.
Who We Help
Estate Planning Services at Both Locations
01
Wills Attorney
A last will and testament directs how your property is distributed and names a guardian for your minor children. Without one, Washington or Utah intestacy law controls your estate.
02
Trusts Attorney
A properly funded trust avoids probate, protects your family’s privacy, and gives you control over when and how beneficiaries receive assets — including revocable, irrevocable, special needs, pooled, and third-party trusts.
03
Durable Power of Attorney
Names a trusted person to manage your financial affairs if you are unable. Without this document, your family may face a costly court-supervised guardianship proceeding.
04
Healthcare Directives
Tells your doctors and family what medical treatment you want if you cannot speak for yourself. We make sure your documents are valid and enforceable in your state.
05
Emergency Advance Directive
For urgent situations where standard advance directives are not yet in place — an emergency advance directive ensures your wishes are legally documented right away.
06
IRA Inheritance Planning
The SECURE Act changed how inherited IRAs are taxed. We help clients in both states structure beneficiary designations and trust provisions to reduce the tax burden on their heirs.

Asset Protection Attorney in Sumner, WA and St. George, UT
Building wealth takes a lifetime. Protecting it requires legal strategy. Terry Law Firm helps business owners, professionals, real estate investors, and families structure their assets to shield them from creditors, lawsuits, and unforeseen liabilities.
Asset protection is most effective when done before a problem arises. Washington and Utah each have their own trust and business entity laws – and we know both. We help clients evaluate the right combination of tools, including irrevocable trusts, LLCs, family limited partnerships, and strategic titling, to create durable legal protection that holds up in your state.

Washington and Utah have meaningful differences in how state law treats unmarried partners, beneficiary designations, and healthcare decision-making authority.
